Capt. The torque convertor you have now is probably well matched to your camshaft and power range in a normal streetcar. You can get away with the tighter convertor in a Cobra because of the light weight. I went the overdrive automatic route and think it makes a good combination with a 2000 stall. The overdrive is only put to use on the open road. I have 3.55 gears and 70 mph is only about 2200 rpm. Makes for easy cruising. Everyone has their own idea of what is streetable though. I had a blown '62 Nova with a loose convertor at one time and loved it but it was supposed to be a street/strip car.
